DAYS Exit Shocker!

Alison Sweeney (Sami) dropped a bombshell when she appeared on ELLEN as a guest DJ and announced that she was leaving DAYS OF OUR LIVES after more than two decades!

"And I have never had more than a two-week vacation in that whole time," she admitted. "I have worked so much, and my daughter has just turned five and my son is nine, and I just want to be with them."

Sweeney declared her love for the soap and the fans and assured that she will continue to appear on DAYS for the rest of this year. No final airdate has been set yet, so how Sami might leave Salem is just speculation at this point. You can watch the actress' thoughts on how it should go down in the clip below, and then write your own ending for Sami in the comments!
